Adelaide United made their second trip to Wellington this season on Saturday night looking to bounce back after a hammering at the hands of Melbourne City last week. The Phoenix would need some stopping, hot in form after winning two of their last three coming into the Round 18 clash.
Matthew Ridenton – 6
His quick ball movement played with the Adelaide midfield, but couldn’t find his attackers in any space for most of the game.
Michael McGlinchey – 5
A much better second half hid a slow and poor first half. Didn’t really catch the eye with any of his play.

Matija Ljuic - 6
Failed to live up to the high standards that have been set for him since arriving in New Zealand. Stayed strong on the ball when challenged by red shirts.
Adam Parkhouse - 6
Created chances for himself with some positive play, but couldn’t make it count when it needed to. Too many overhit crosses that failed to meet anyone in the box.
Andrija Kaludjerovic - 4
Never managed to get into the game after being hit with injury early on.
Nathan Burns – 7
Some really smart movement opened space for Burns and his teammates but lacked a clinical touch.
SUBS
Sarpreet Singh – 5.5
Showed his desire and hunger with a few pacey runs down the line, but couldn’t effect the game.
Alex Rufer – N/A
Didn’t do enough to warrant a rating.
Logan Rogerson – N/A
Didn’t have enough time to warrant a rating.
